SOUTHERN GRITS AND GREENS CASSEROLE



Southern Grits And Greens Casserole image

Provided by Melissa

Categories     brunch     Main Course     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 16 oz frozen collard greens
1 tsp salt (for greens)
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 cups half and half
1 Tbsp garlic salt (adjust to taste)
2 cups quick cooking grits (not instant)
1 8 oz container garden vegetable spreadable cream cheese (softened)
2 cups shredded Swiss or sharp white cheddar cheese (divided)
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (divided)
1/2 lb bacon (cooked and crumbled, reserve 1 Tbsp drippings)
1 medium sweet onion (diced)
2 tsp hot sauce (adjust more or less to taste)
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp butter (divided)
3 green onion (thinly sliced)

Steps:

  • In a medium-size pot, cook collard greens in water (amount called for on package) and 1 tsp salt. Cook for 15 minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Meanwhile, in a large heavy bottomed pot bring chicken broth, half and half and garlic salt to a boil. Whisking constantly add grits in a single stream. Lower heat to medium-low and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 20-25 minutes or until creamy. May add more broth or half and half to thin, if needed.
  • After frying bacon, remove to paper towels and crumble. Cook onion in 1 Tbsp drippings until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove grits from heat, add cream cheese and 2 Tbsp butter. Stir until fully melted. To the grits add greens, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1/2 Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cooked bacon, hot sauce and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
  • To bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 13 x 9 inch baking dish using 1 Tbsp butter or spray with cooking spray. Pour grits and greens into the dish. Top with remaining shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese and bacon. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is lightly golden. May broil to brown further, if desired.
  • Let stand 5 minutes, garnish with green onion and serve with additional hot sauce on the side, if desired.

GRITS AND GREENS CASSEROLE



Grits and Greens Casserole image

From EatingWell.com Here we've combined two favorite Southern side dishes - grits and greens - into one casserole that's a natural choice to serve with Easter ham. Try omitting the bacon and using vegetable broth to make it a vegetarian dish.

Provided by Jelobeanz 2

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 about 1 cup each, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon, chopped (optional)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 cups chopped collard greens (about 1 large bunch, 1 1/2-2 pounds) or 16 cups kale, stems removed (about 1 large bunch, 1 1/2-2 pounds)
2 cups water, plus more as needed
1 cup grits (not instant)
3/4 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup prepared salsa
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place bacon (if using) in a large Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off the bacon fat.
  • Return the pot to medium-low heat; add oil, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and starting to brown in spots, 2 to 8 minutes (cooking time will be quicker if you started with bacon). Add 1 cup broth and salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Add collards (or kale); stir until wilted down to about one-third the volume and bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Adjust heat during cooking to maintain a simmer, and add water, 1/4 cup at a time, if the pan seems dry.
  • Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water and the remaining 1 cup broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Pour in grits in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, whisking often, until thick, about 5 minutes. Combine 1/2 cup cheese, salsa, and egg in a small bowl. Remove the grits from the heat and quickly stir in the cheese mixture until combined.
  • Working quickly, spread about half the grits in the prepared baking dish. Top with greens, spreading evenly. Spread the remaining grits over the greens. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and the reserved bacon (if using).
  • Bake the casserole until hot and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.

GRITS AND GREENS CASSEROLE



Grits and Greens Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
2 cups half-and-half
8 cups chicken stock
2 cups grits, such as Quaker Old Fashioned
6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, finely chopped
One 16-ounce package frozen collard greens, thawed
1 3/4 cups grated Parmesan (6 ounces)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the half-and-half and 6 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once up to a boil, stir in the grits. Bring it back up to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture has slightly thickened (it should resemble cooked oatmeal in thickness), 10 to 15 minutes. Use a whisk to break up any lumps that have formed.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until just turning crispy, about 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel, patting it to remove any excess fat. Using the same saucepan, add the onions to the leftover bacon drippings and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Then add the collard greens and the remaining 2 cups chicken stock and cook until tender, another 10 minutes. Drain the collards and onions in a colander.
  • Once the grits are done, add the Parmesan, butter, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of the Monterey jack. Stir until the butter has melted and all the ingredients are well combined. Then add the drained collards mixture and stir.
  • Transfer the grits mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the crumbled bacon and the remaining 1/2 cup Monterey jack. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Provided by Debbie W

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium onion, chopped
6 or 7 pieces of bacon
2 c grits (quick cook, just not instant)
12-16 oz bag of frozen greens - your choice, i like collards or spinach
1 stick butter
1 c grated Parmesan cheese
2 c monterey jack cheese (reserve a little for topping)
salt and pepper, to taste
6 c chicken broth
2 c half and half

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350.
  • 2. Dice bacon and cook in a medium skillet until it is nice and crisp. Drain bacon on a paper towel and set it aside.
  • 3. In the same skillet as the bacon was cooked, pour most of the bacon grease out leaving about a Tablespoon. Dice the onion and cook it in the reserved bacon grease until the onion is translucent and set aside.
  • 4. In a large pot combine 1/2 and 1/2 and 6 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stir in grits, bring back to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer. Stir often to keep from burning. Cook for about 10-15 minutes. You want normal grits consistency. I use a whisk to get the lumps out.
  • 5. While grits are cooking, cook greens. Cook approx 10 min or until tender. If I use spinach, I cook them in the microwave in the steamer bag. Drain and squeeze out all the liquid.
  • 6. Add butter, both kinds of cheese, onion, and salt and pepper to the grits. When butter is melted, stir in the greens.
  • 7. Pour mixture in a greased 13x9 dish. Top with crumbled bacon and a little reserved cheese.
  • 8. Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.
